Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Didn't I Say? Didn't I say, " Don't go there; I am your friend. In this mirage of existence, I am the fountain of life. " Even if your anger takes you a hundred thousand years away, in the end you will return, for I am your goal. Didn't I say, " Don't be content with earthly forms; I am the designer of the intimate chamber of your contentment. " Didn't I say, " I am the sea, and you are a single fish; don't strand yourself on dry land; I am your clear sea. " Didn't I say, " Don't get caught in the trap like a helpless bird; I am the power of flight - your feet and your wings. " Didn't I say, " They will waylay you and make you cold; I am the fire and your warm desire. " Didn't I say, " They will implant their qualities in you until you forget that the best qualities are here. " Didn't I say, " You do not know from what direction your affairs are put in order. " I am the Creator beyond directions. If light is in your heart, find your way home. If you are of God, know your Benefactor. - Rumi, Ghazal 1725, from the Diwan-e Shams, version by Kabir Edmund Helminski, Love is a Stranger, posted to Sunlight ~****~ - Sue me, Davis 2006, from the NondualitySolon, veers on by ~*~, Love is Love, posted to Delight: Didn't I Say?
